Гены тромбообразования и фолатного обмена играют важную роль в развитии и прогрессии ишемической болезни сердца (ИБС). Однако о возможной роли полиморфных маркеров в рецидиве ИБС после чрескожного коронарного вмешательства (ЧКВ) известно недостаточно. Цель исследования: Оценить роль генетических факторов системы тромбообразования и фолатного обмена (полиморфных маркеров генов F5, F2, F13A1, PAI1, HPA1, MTHFR, FGB ), в возобновление клиники ИБС после ЧКВ. Методика: Исследование проводили с использованием выборки из 90 больных ИБС в возрасте от 40 до 75 лет: 75 пациентов после планового ЧКВ (60 мужчин и 15 женщин) и 15 лиц после экстренного ЧКВ (12 мужчин и 3 женщины). Молекулярно-генетическое исследование было выполнено с помощью комплекта реагентов «Сердечно-сосудистые заболевания СтрипМетод»® (ViennaLab Diagnostics GmbH, Австрия), выявляющие следующие варианты: F5, F2, F13A1, PAI1, HPA1, MTHFR, FGB . Результаты: В результате исследования была показана ассоциация полиморфного маркера G103T ( Val34Leu ) гена F13A1 (фактор свертываемости крови 13, субъединица A1) с развитием рецидивирующего состояния ИБС после ЧКВ. Выявлены статистически значимые различия в распределении частот генотипов полиморфного маркера Val34Leu гена F13A1 . Показано, что частота генотипа Val/Val у пациентов с осложнениями была выше, чем у пациентов без таковых: 0,700 и 0,400 соответственно (c = 7,78; p = 0,020), при этом генотип Val/Val проявил себя как фактор риска развития осложнений: ОШ = 3,50 (95%ДИ 1,37-8,93). При сравнении аллелей выявили, что частота аллеля L у больных с осложнениями была ниже, чем у лиц без таковых: 0,167 и 0,375 соответственно (p = 0,004), и носительство аллеля L уменьшало вероятность развития осложнений: ОШ = 0,33 (95%ДИ 0,15-0,72). Заключение: Носительство варианта 34V гена F13A1 , кодирующего A-субъединицу фактора свёртывания 13, предрасполагает к возобновлению клинических проявлений ИБС после ЧКВ. Genes of thrombosis and folate metabolism play an important role in development and progression of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, a possible role of polymorphic markers in CAD relapse following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is not sufficiently understood. Background. Reports have indicated an association of genetic factors generally related with thrombophilia and recurrence of symptoms for coronary artery disease (CAD) following a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) due to restenosis and in-stent thrombosis. However, the relapse can also be caused by progression of atherosclerosis and endothelial dysfunction in unoperated blood vessels. Aim: To assess the role of genetic risk factors involved in thrombosis and folate metabolism (polymorphic markers of F5, F2, F13A1, PAI1, HPA1, MTHFR, and FGB genes) in recurrence of CAD symptoms after PCI. Methods: The study included 90 patients with CAD aged 40-75; 75 of these patients had undergone elective PCI (60 men and 15 women) and 15 patients - emergency PCI (12 men and 3 women). Molecular genetic tests were performed using a CVD StripAssays® reagent kit (ViennaLab Diagnostics GmbH, Austria) to identify the following genetic variations: F5, F2, F13A1, PAI1, HPA1, MTHFR, and FGB . Results: The study results showed a significant association of the G103T ( Val34Leu ) polymorphism in the F13A1 gene with relapses of IHD after PCI. Significant differences were found in genotype distribution frequencies of the Val34Leu polymorphism in the F13A1 gene. The frequency of Val / Val genotype was higher in patients with complications than without complications, 0.700 and 0.400, respectively (c = 7.78, p = 0.020). Furthermore, the Val/Val genotype can be classified as a risk factor for complications (OR = 3.50; 95% CI, 1.37-8.93). The L allele frequency was lower in patients with complications than in those without complications (0.167 and 0.375, respectively, p = 0.004), and carriage of the L allele reduced the likelihood of complications (OR = 0.33; 95% CI 0.15-0.72). Conclusion: Carriage of the 34V variant in the F13A1 gene that encodes the coagulation factor XIII A subunit predisposes to a relapse of CAD symptoms after PCI.

ABSTRACTWe have been investigating modulation strategies tailored around the selective stimulation of the host's immune system as an alternative to direct targeting of microbial pathogens by antibiotics. One such approach is the use of a group of small cationic peptides (BT) produced by a Gram-positive soil bacterium,Brevibacillus texasporus. These peptides have immune modulatory properties that enhance both leukocyte functional efficiency and leukocyte proinflammatory cytokine and chemokine mRNA transcription activitiesin vitro. In addition, when provided as a feed additive for just 4 days posthatch, BT peptides significantly induce a concentration-dependent protection against cecal and extraintestinal colonization bySalmonella entericaserovar Enteritidis. In the present studies, we assessed the effects of feeding BT peptides on transcriptional changes on proinflammatory cytokines, inflammatory chemokines, and Toll-like receptors (TLR) in the ceca of broiler chickens with and withoutS. Enteritidis infection. After feeding a BT peptide-supplemented diet for the first 4 days posthatch, chickens were then challenged withS. Enteritidis, and intestinal gene expression was measured at 1 or 7 days postinfection (p.i.) (5 or 11 days of age). Intestinal expression of innate immune mRNA transcripts was analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Analysis of relative mRNA expression showed that a BT peptide-supplemented diet did not directly induce the transcription of proinflammatory cytokine, inflammatory chemokine, type I/II interferon (IFN), or TLR mRNA in chicken cecum. However, feeding the BT peptide-supplemented diet primed cecal tissue for increased (P≤ 0.05) transcription of TLR4, TLR15, and TLR21 upon infection withS. Enteritidis on days 1 and 7 p.i. Likewise, feeding the BT peptides primed the cecal tissue for increased transcription of proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin 1β [IL-1β], IL-6, IL-18, type I and II IFNs) and inflammatory chemokine (CxCLi2) in response toS. Enteritidis infection 1 and 7 days p.i. compared to the chickens fed the basal diet. These small cationic peptides may prove useful as alternatives to antibiotics as local immune modulators in neonatal poultry by providing prophylactic protection againstSalmonellainfections.
